For example, in the mid-1990’s one of our Iraqi cameramen was abducted. For weeks he was beaten and subjected to electroshock torture in the basement of a secret police headquarters because he refused to confirm the government’s ludicrous suspicion that I was the Central Intelligence Agency’s Iraq station chief. CNN had been in Baghdad long enough to know that telling the world about the torture of one of its employees would almost certainly have gotten him killed and put his family and co-workers at grave risk.

You see, they needed access, so lying for Saddam gave them access. They never seemed to question whether the “access” was worth the lies. Recall also that Foxnews left Iraq without explaining why. But they’re Fauxnews and CNN is all good and shit.

Keep that story in mind when you read stories about Hamas.

Hell, even Foxnews, and not just nitwits like Shep, are saying stuff like, “Israel says that Hamas is using human shields. Meanwhile, a brazillion civilians died in Israeli rocket strikes” without noting that it’s Hamas giving the world the “civilian” casualty numbers and who killed them.

The media immediately took the Hamas line that it was Israeli missiles. Later, the IDF stated that it had not fired on those locations, and that the explosions were misfired Hamas or Islamic Jihad missiles.

Which brings up impeachment, does anybody think things would be better if he were impeached? President Joe Biden (wrap your head around that) would keep the same people who are actually running the gov’t in place so we’d lose a retired president to get one who’s well into Energetic and Stupid
